Annual Quilt show in Vaasa. Part 2.

It was in March when we drove to the town of Vaasa to visit annual nationwide Quilt show. The distance to Vaasa from Helsinki is 422 kilometers / 262 miles. This means that we stayed overnight there and enjoyed our mini holiday.

I took plenty of nice photos and due to that I had to divide them into three parts. This part has 50 photos. Enjoy Quilts and Patchwork.

Sacaba un montón de bonitas fotos y debido a eso tuve que dividirlos en tres partes. Esta parte tiene 50 fotos. Disfruten de almazuelas.

Amazing – and overwhelming with so many beautiful quilts, I tried to choose some favorites, but it is quite impossible: there are almost only beautiful works here! Can’t you get this show to Denmark – then I’m the first in line when it opens! I do not recall hearing about a show like this in Denmark ….

- Hi Truels.
  
  Thank You. Finn Quilt and other Nordic quilters arrange quilt shows in Nordic countries. This summer there was a quilt show in Ålborg. Here is the link:
  
  NQT 2012 / Lapptäcksfesten i Ålborg 18-20 maj 2012.
  
  Quilters are very active people and they travel around the world in different quilt shows. My wife has ordered “Journal of the hobby of Finn Quilt” and it is awesome with its photos.
  
  Lykkelig lørdag.

    Thanks for the link, if I had known this, I would have considered a trip to Aalborg that weekend, but now I have to go to Norway in 2 years ….. – Or wait 12 years for the next meeting in Denmark!)

  Thank You. You are right. When visiting in a show like this, one loses the sense of reality and cannot realize details.

Just beautiful work, More like works of art. So different from Hawaiian Quilting.

- Hi Karen.
  
  Thank You. Quilts around the world have something common, but they differ also from those quilted in other countries. That’s the interesting point to see something different and maybe something national in every country.
  
  Happy week-end!

  Oh, thank You teaching that word! I love it. Tansi is easy for us Finns to remember, because we have very similar word “tanssi” meaning dancing. I am happy that You did give forward my post to one of Your quilt friend. This one was the ninth quilt post and the next will be published so late as sometimes next spring.

A quick stop at the camper (parked for 1 more week at the campground on the edge of LaCrosse, WI, on the Mississippi River). Put a link to your wonderful blog on my site to “spread the love”.

Each quilt has its own creativity and beauty. I enjoy scrolling slowly through the photos and admiring each one. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could personally meet and get to know the creator of each of them!

  I love the last sentence of Your comment very much. Yes it would be interesting indeed! I think that many of them are so called “ordinary people”, but who are dedicated themselves to quilt by whole their heart. Thank You for Your comment.

  Thank You. Yes, so it is indeed. I have also studied it for a long time to find what it is presenting. By the way, all my photos have a number. When moving the mouse pointer over an image there will be small popup, which tell the name and number of photo.

Elles sont vraiment douées nos amies quilteuses finlandaises ! Que de merveilles ! J’aime toute la série orange. As-tu remarqué dans la photo 88, il a des tracteurs aussi 😉 ? mon quilt préféré est dans la photo no 91. Très beau dans le jeu des couleurs et un immense travail, je pense tout à la main ? Bravo à toutes ! et merci à Matti.

      I checked the calendar of Finn Quilt, but at this moment I could not find any quilt shows in Easter. The big annual quilt show is on Sunday the 17th in March in Siilinjärvi. We’ll visit it. Sorry that no shows in Easter.

The hobby of quilting such as your photos is popular in Japan.
But there are better many works than Japan because Europe is best place.

  Thank You for Your kind comment. I knew that also in Japan people has the hobby making quilts. I do not want to make comparison between Finnish and Japanese quilts, but I love to see local ideas like landscapes in them.
